○○の恋人というお菓子

The candy called "○○'s lover."

あああるね北海道の白い恋人が一番有名ですけど

Ah, there is the White Lover from Hokkaido, which is the most famous.

この白い恋人をご存じない方のために一応説明しますと1976年から販売されている北海道の

For those who are not familiar with this Shiroi Koibito, it is a product from Hokkaido that has been sold since 1976.

76年なんだ私より若いんですね4歳ほど

You're from 1976, so you're about 4 years younger than me.

まあ4歳まあ誤差ですよ

Well, it's just a 4-year difference, so it's negligible.

いやもっと前からあると思ってたから生まれる前から

"I thought it existed even before I was born."

こっちの方が後輩です

This one is a junior.

こちらがですね

Here it is.

北海道の定番のお土産でして世代を問わず多くの方に愛されているホワイトチョコをサンドしたラングドシャクッキーみたいなサクサクしたやつですね

It's a classic souvenir from Hokkaido, a crispy treat similar to Langue de Chat cookies sandwiched with white chocolate, loved by many across generations.

でちなみに名前の由来ご存知ですかね

By the way, do you know the origin of the name?

あの雪が降る中創業者の方が白い恋人たちが降ってきたよってポツッと言ったんですって

In the midst of that falling snow, the founder reportedly said, "The white lovers are falling down."

それが由来らしい

It seems that is the origin.

そんなもんだよね多分ね

That's probably just how it is, right?

おしゃれな創業者って思いましたよ

I thought you were a stylish founder.

もうね

Already, huh?

それを文字ってなのかね

Is that something that can be written down?

桑田恵介さんもね

Mr. Keisuke Kuwata too, you know.

白い恋人たちって

White lovers, huh?

歌って出しましたもんね

I ended up singing it, didn't I?

いやでもですねなんと

Well, you see, surprisingly...

○○の恋人たち

Lovers of ○○

恋人ですね○○の恋人っていうお菓子

It's a dessert called "your lover"○○'s lover.

白い恋人だけじゃないんです

It's not just about Shiroi Koibito.

一時さ大阪かなんかで面白い恋人ってパロディ出してちょっと物議を醸したことありましたけど

There was a time when a parody called "Interesting Lover" was released in Osaka or somewhere, and it caused a bit of controversy.

いや大阪もそう物議を醸すのかなと思ったら

I wondered if Osaka would also stir up controversy.

全部でですね25個以上もあるらしい

It seems that there are more than 25 in total.

そんなの

That's something like that.

いやしかもですね

Well, moreover...

海外版もある

There is also an overseas version.

え

Eh?

海外版がハワイの恋人

The overseas version is "Hawaii's Lover."

そんなのあるんだ

I didn't know there was such a thing.

でも別にその北海道の会社が作ってるわけじゃないんだよね

But it's not like that company in Hokkaido is making it or anything.

多分これ最古レンジンというのが中国であるみたいなんですけど

It seems that this ancient range is found in China.

これも中国の西の湖に恋人で

This is also a lover at the West Lake in China.

レンジンね

It's a range.

そう多分最古の恋人っていうことだと

So probably that means the oldest lover.

レンジンって読むよね

It's read as "Rengin," right?

そう思うんですけれども

I think so, but...

他にもですね本当に

There are really other things too.

青森

Aomori
